JAN BARRY INSTITUTE 
VIDEO GREETING 

GOOD EVENING, I REGRET I CAN'T BE WITH YOU TONIGHT AS YOU CELEBRATE THE IMPORTANT WORK OF THE JAN BARRY CENTER FOR THE BRAIN INJURED. 

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE ABILITIES OF PERSONS WITH BRAIN INJURIES DEPRIVE MANY TALENTED AMERICANS OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AND PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY LIFE. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE WORK OF THE JAN BARRY CENTER SO IMPORTANT. COUPLED WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, THE JAN BARRY CENTER IS OPENING NEW DOORS TO PEOPLE WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SHUT OUT OF SOCIETY'S MAINSTREAM.
 
MANY OF YOU HERE TONIGHT HAVE DEMONSTRATED YOUR COMMITMENT TO BUILDING A STRONGER AMERICAN WORKFORCE BY HELPING GIVE PERSONS WITH HEAD INJURIES THE BOOST THEY NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR TALENTS IN THE WORKPLACE. EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS UNIQUE ABILITIES AND TALENTS --AND THOSE QUALITIES CAN PAY BIG DIVIDENDS FOR AN EMPLOYER, IF A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY.
 
THANKS TO YOU AND THE JAN BARRY CENTER, MORE AND MORE AMERICANS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE LEADING LIVES OF DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE. 

THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
